Featured Friday with Cynthia Dawson of Cynthia Dawson Photography

Cynthia is the winner of the "faceless"  challenge. Since she has a been a guest judge recently and already did an interview feature, we'd thought we'd share something a little different with you all today. Cynthia tells us in words and images about the session surrounding her winning "faceless" image.




It had been cold and rainy for days.  My daughter was bored and I missed light.  

We decided to look at the rain against the window one afternoon. 

After pulling open the curtains, we noticed how the water was glistening on the glass and my daughter was mesmerized.

The light was dramatic which led me to portray a little mystery in these images.  

I decided to underexpose these to enhance the play between light and dark and the gloomy fleeing of the weather outside.

I also added a blur in post to intensify that mysterious feeling I felt while capturing these.

Shot with a 24-85 2.8 at 24mm and a 35 1.4.
